I was downvoted back to hell for saying the mouse was meh.

I see that comment of yours at -1, really not all that bad imo. Still dumb to downvote people for honest opinions though.

Idk about your opinion on a touch screen. For both my switch and my steam deck, over 99% of their usage has been docked. A touch screen doesn’t do anything for gamers like me. I do use a keyboard and mouse very often with my deck too.

That said the joycon “mouse” looks way too small and uncomfortable.

It‘s especially evident shortly after these announcements. I was looking for a resource to summarize and comment on the Direct but most things I found were posts by what I can only describe as ecstatic fanboys. Honestly I was surprised how little the Switch 2 is actually talked about outside this bubble.

I'm already imagining thousands of shitty attachments made of cheap plastic to make the joycon more comfortable in mouse mode.

I hope they haven't killed their absolutely wonderful motion controls for this, Splatoon2/3 were perfect as is.

That might be true. For party games or Animal Crossing, the Switch is still the top choice. For the non-casual gamer, though, it is way to limited.

We will see. The big advantage of the SD is the ginormus library of games that already exist, the advantage of the S2 is that they have the Nintendo exclusive titles that have a good and solid fan base. With the S1, it was a no-brainer, the other consoles were limited in their game selection with a small hand of exclusives, and they were more expensive than the S1. The S2 is not far from the SD in terms of price. So this time, there actually is competition.

Then tell me why Nintendo got steamDB to remove cover art for switch games that they know were being emulated on steam deck
